Tomorrow, we are launching SatireDay with 15 terrific events all poking fun at life and the uncertain times we face in this mad, mad world. Belfast is noted for its sardonic wit so this theme fits much of our programme including the shows tomorrow featuring the Rubberbandits, Michelle & Arlene, Bill Hicks: Relentless, our Kate Bush dance parody and Alternative Bedtime Stories - to name but a few! Don't forget our conference in the Mac will also explore the local comedy scene including humour and conflict. So join us in having a laugh and satirising the powers that shape our world.

Belfast comes alive with the sound of laughter this weekend with a whopping 26 events across the city. This is your last chance to experience the biggest comedy arts festival in Ireland, with lots of stand up, sketches, dance, musical comedy, theatre, comic art, film, kids workshops and even a conference looking at the comedy scene in NI. Today we have 9 great events (see link below). Tomorrow its Satire Day!

As part of Belfast Comedy Festival and Strand Minors Club, on Saturday we will be screening Despicable Me at 12noon. It’s been so popular we had to move screens, but we've still a few tickets left! It’s free but you need to pre-book your child's seat at bit.ly/2xWMC6c

This is our line up for tomorrow with 9 very different but excellent events. Get your weekend started with top class comedy from Joel Dommett, Bec Hill & guests, Those Who Can't, and Terry McHugh & Daren Matthews.
We also have some excellent theatre offerings from Three's a Shroud, Joe Nawaz in Fake ID, with Michelle & Arlene and Keep Calm and Croon On in our 'Accidental' Theatre in Shaftesbury Square. Don't forget the comics exhibition in Framewerk Gallery (public viewing tonight)! Tickets are nearly sold out for a number of these shows - so book soon!
The festival is hotting up. So find out what all the fuss is about by grabbing at least one of our shows before we finish on Sunday. Use the link below:

Last shout out for this hilarious game show taking place tonight in the lovely American Bar with Les Ismore. Expect fun, facts, laughter and tears with great prizes thrown into the comic mix! Tickets still available at only £5. Doors 9:00pm: Show 9.30pm

Thank you and good bye.

The 6th annual festival took place during 2-8 October 2017, with our most successful programme to date, involving 52 events across the city. Due to a lack of funding our 2018 festival will not take place in October. We hope to be back in 2019. In the meantime, keep supporting local comedy and thank you for your support!
